Licence

StatsDirect's source code is open source. It is published at https://github.com/iain-buchan/statsdirect under the MIT License, which follows and which covers StatsDirect's own code only. The installed program also contains components from other suppliers, some of which are not open source; the conditions on which they are supplied to you are set out after it. These are the terms shown when the software is installed.

Components from other suppliers

The MIT License above does not cover the following components. They remain the property of their owners and are supplied with StatsDirect under their owners' licences.

SpreadsheetGear (SpreadsheetGear LLC), the DevExpress WinForms controls (Developer Express Inc.) and the Windows SDK projection for .NET (Microsoft Corporation) are proprietary software, included for use only as part of StatsDirect. You may not redistribute these components, on their own or within a copy of StatsDirect; you may not modify, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble them, or use them to develop other software; and you may not export them contrary to the export laws of the United States. To pass StatsDirect on to someone else, direct them to www.statsdirect.com.

The ANTLR 4 runtime for C# (Sam Harwell and Terence Parr) is used under the BSD 3-Clause License. OpenMcdf is used under the Mozilla Public License 2.0; its source code is at https://github.com/openmcdf/openmcdf. The .NET Compiler Platform ("Roslyn"), other .NET libraries (.NET Foundation and Contributors) and C#/WinRT (Microsoft Corporation) are used under the MIT License. StatsDirect's own program file also includes the Mersenne Twister random number generator (Makoto Matsumoto and Takuji Nishimura) and a CSV grammar (Terence Parr), both under BSD licences, a colour picker control (PJL Consultants Ltd) and a vertical label control from The Code Project (Code Project Open License).

The notices that these licences require are in the file THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt, which is installed with the program beside a copy of the MIT License, LICENSE.txt. StatsDirect needs Microsoft's .NET Windows Desktop Runtime, which the StatsDirect setup program installs if your computer does not have it; that is Microsoft's software, provided under Microsoft's own terms.

No liability for reliance on results

StatsDirect as a whole, including its help and the components from other suppliers, is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied; in particular it is not warranted to be free of errors, or that errors will be corrected. To the extent that the law allows, the authors, the copyright holders and anyone who distributes StatsDirect on their behalf shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever or howsoever caused arising directly or indirectly in connection with the software, its use or otherwise, in particular as a result of installation or reliance upon the software or the results of use of the software, and expressly exclude liability for indirect, special, incidental or consequential loss or damage, even if advised of the possibility of such damage. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury arising from negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law.
